strange legacy data migration problem to SAP CProjects

[Former Member]

Dear all,

I am new to CProjects and currently working on migrating legacy data to CProjects through XML. I am facing some strange problems when migrating project data with multiple phases. If the project already exists in Cprojects, the XML import transaction hangs indefinitely and a timeout exception is thrown. While on the other hand, if I upload a new project (with same set of phases), it is readily imported without any problems.

Kindly help!

Thank you all!

Hi Vivek,

If the project already exists, the system creates a simulation from the imported data. You then need to move the simulation to your operational project by performing a reconcilliation. You can't simply overwrite an operational project via an import.

I have included some links below from SAP help which may help (cProjects 3.1).

Lashan,

Thats what the problem is! The import operation never completes, since it hangs indefinitely. Reconciliation can be done only if the import operation succeedes - which is not the case with me.

Hi,

Please check, that you can not migrate complete folder in cProject. Its SAP have limitation on that so if this the case, go one by one file in sequence.

So, does it mean that i need to upload phases for a project individually ie, one at a time??
